I don't think that I've ever seen a cal. 454 with both 18 jewels and geneva seal. Is that from the 60's? I have a 454/5c that I think dates to 1943, just what was the difference in the /5b versus the /5c?

I was quite amazed when I saw it. The movement was in excellent condition.

If you look closely you can see the perlage under the balance wheel. There are also the movement reference numbers there K454/5B W

You can also see the escapement wheel. I tried to include one of the anchor arms with its jewel but I don't think I succeeded.

I was able to freeze the balance spring with the flash.

Perhaps sometime in the future I might send the watch in to have the case refinished but that's not a priority. It looks good as is and the movement is in excellent shape too. I believe the watch is from the '50's but I'm not certain. It can probably be traced by the serial number:552024. That number does indicate 1956-1961 (approx.)
